# Dependencies
# Runtime Dependencies

If you installed `ouch` using the download script, you will need no dependencies (static MUSL binary).
When `ouch` gives a linking error, it means you're missing a runtime dependency.

If you're downloading binaries from the [releases page](https://github.com/ouch-org/ouch/releases), try the `musl` variants, those are static binaries that require no runtime dependencies.

Otherwise, you'll need these libraries installed on your system:

* [liblzma](https://www.7-zip.org/sdk.html)
* [libbz2](https://www.sourceware.org/bzip2/)
* [libz](https://www.zlib.net/)
* [libbz2](https://www.sourceware.org/bzip2)
* [libz](https://www.zlib.net)

These are available on all mainstream _Linux_ distributions and on _macOS_.
These should be available in your system's package manager.
